minished by increasing number of those who possess, because not divided, 385; men
try to divide this heritage through the Blood of Christ, 319.
Labour, man's: arises from his mortality, 315; all in, through sin, therefore invitation of
Christ to rest addressed to all, 385.
Labourers, hired into vineyard at different hours, represent Patriarchs and Prophets called
early, and Christians at the last, 374 sq., or persons made Christians at different periods
of their lives, 375; all came when called, 375; had they delayed, no future call promised,
375.
Law, eternal, in the heart, 353.
Law, the: given to discover sin, not to cure it, 476, 542; Grace only enables to fulfil, 476;
without Grace makes more guilty, because not kept, 516; he fulfils who abstains from
world, 479; Prophets and Gospel one with, proved by the fasts of Moses, Elias, and our
Blessed Lord, 480; ten strings of (Ps. cxliv. 9), ten precepts of, figured in the staff sent
from Elisha by Gehazi's hands, 517; causes fear by reason of trust in self, 540; in this
opposed to Grace, 540; those under, led captive, 542.
Lazarus, buried, figure of those buried in habits of sin, raised, of those raised from sin by
cry of Christ, 414, 415; sin entangles, confession frees, example in, 311.
Lie, slays soul, 308, 355; all saying what is not done, not a, 506; difference between being
deceived and telling a, 507, because we may be deceived and yet not lie, 507, as saying
what we "think" to be true, and so not erring in will, 507.
Life, brief, 440, 441; one of toil, 290; one long sickness, 346, 351; one long death, 346; not
to be coveted, lest it bring death, 439; exposed to storms and calamities, 337; a struggle,
492, 494; a war, must hope for triumph till the end, 494; a long, long torture, 366; long,
should be good also, 362; good, and "good days," where to be sought and where not,
440, 441 sq.; reckoned among things superfluous by Martyrs, 302, 303; to be amended
immediately because of uncertainty of morrow, 361; years of, decrease, not increase,
366, 443; all wish for long and prosperous, Scripture only teaches where to find such,
441; though full of evil, no man willing to end it, 366, yet he who lives long is only
running to the end, 440 sq.; true, to rise and reign with Christ, 366; men wish for
everything good but good life, 362; man's love of, should teach love of the True Life,
365 sq., 487, should be one end of, 427; they who live in, after manner of men, called
